Kathy in the normal world we use the metric system, I really can't understand all your EXTREMLY COMPLICATED method! Sorry can't say more!

K, thanks! One more question: should I wait to put them with the chicks I hatched until they get bigger? I'm just thinking, since they're fragile, the bigger chicks might hurt them. Would they?

I didn't wait, and they are fine.

We're even; I can't understand metrics! Guess that makes me abnormal (shut up Chaos)

I use a convierbelt method of fermentation, I mean the first fermented batch feed started wit a double daily portion of dry feed wich I coverd with water and add to it a capsule of human probiotics, I think it had 7 or 10 types of Bacteria, after the mix fermented I take from it a day portion and add to it a day portion of new dry feed. And because my feed is with the paprika it goes in also!

I use Gro2Max for adding a starter to fermented feed and put some in all chicks first water. It is formulated specifically for chickens and was developed in your neighboring country of Egypt.

It contains 4 live bacteria and 1 yeast.
I've also used kefir for fermented feed too. It has 11 bacteria.

Is a six foot post six feet top to bottom? I asked for six foot posts when I bought six foot fencing. Once in the ground, they are certainly not long enough.

No, canning can be done at any time. Especially young birds. They are tender to begin with.
I will have to look up duck recipes before canning. IDK what to do with duck meat. I have never had it, and I am only familiar with the "roast duck'. I have never heard of any other dish.
The escape cockerel was given a "I will get you next time, if not sooner" pardon. As a mutt chicken, I have no need for him. I have enough purebred boys to cover all the girls if something happens to Stephen Tyler.

I guess for canning meat you need the same elaborate setup one needs for canning vegetables?

Are the longer ones special order? I've only seen them 6' and under

Tabasco is not killer hot though

TSC and Farm&Home carries longer posts and are much stronger than the Lowe's/HD ones.

That's true.

You would rather they sell the 6' posts as 4' or 5' posts?

That would be helpful for people buying fencing for the first time.
Lumber isn't actually 2X4.

My fence is bent over, and the birds that can barely get over it, would NOT get over it if the posts were taller. So, yes. A six foot post should not be counting the part that is intended to go in the ground. I could compare it to other things, but it isn't worth it. I feel how I feel.

How about adding a couple longer posts here and there. Or get some 10' lengths of EMT, cut them in half wired to your fence to extend your posts. That would add about $1 to each post you use it on.

I heard there was a store that sold all sorts of craft brew beer and had one brand with a hot pepper in each bottle. I couldn't find it, asked the owner, said he carried it, everyone said it didn't taste good, but he can't keep it in stock, sells out quick...Lol.

There are quite a few of chili infused beers. They use everything from mild anaheims to ghost.
My wife said they used to sell one on draft too.

There isn't? I thought the part where the bars (the "T" ) were was supposed to be at ground level, or just under.

They are but I don't drive them in that far because I tend to move fencing.

Good morning Abi, Chaos, Joey, Phil
And all the rest of you fine folks out there.

Good morning.

I am going to look up uses for duck meat. If you guys have any suggestions, please tell me.

I wanted to share this duck processing info with you.

Real close! Candled for the 1st time yesterday; looks like several clears. Wondering if Mr. Tucker is doing the job as well as I'd hoped. I saw movement & veining in a few though, so it's not a totally wasted effort. Broody's camped on 5 more, so I should have several replacement pullets when it's all said and done, which is all I wanted from the start.

I candled yesterday. A lonely egg due on the 3rd looks viable. I had 7 due on the 6th and one was clear. Another 5 due the 8th and 11 due on the 14th.
I plan on setting more today.

I buy the studded 6' posts from HD and they seem fairly strong.

I just realized why I haven't been feeling that great. I just noticed that on the back of the half-empty chip bag, it says contains wheat...... It was GF the last time I bought it!!! Hurrah for changing recipes.


The chickens loved them.......
